Term
bacteria
Definition
the smallest organisms on Earth. (one-celled)
Term
cell membrane
Definition
is a flexible structure that holds the cell together.
Term
cell wall
Definition
structure outside the cell membrane. It gives support and protection to these cells.
Term
cytoplasm
Definition
gelatin like substance; is where cell's activities take place
Term
organelles
Definition
these are in cells. Specialized cell parts can move around in the cytoplasm and perform activities that are necessary for life.
Term
nucleus
Definition
In the cells of organisms, the hereditary material is in organelle. Inside it is chromosomes. They contain plan for the cell and DNA
Term
vacuoles
Definition
In cells, food, water and other substances are stored in ballonlike organelles in the cytoplasm called vacuoles. Sometimes it stores wastes until the cell is ready to get rid of them.
Term
mitochondria
Definition
(organelles) cellular respiration takes place in this. Food converting to energy.
Waste products of cellular respiration are CO2 and H2O.
Term
photosynthesis
Definition
plants, algae, and many types of bacteria make food through this process.
Term
chloroplasts
Definition
green organelles chloroplasts capture light energy and combine CO2 from the air with water to make food
green pigment found in leaf cells that help the cell make its own food through photosynthesis
Term
tissues
Definition
groups of similar cells that all do the same sort of work
Term
organ
Definition
different types of tissues working together can form a structure called organ
Term
organ system
Definition
group of organs that work together to do a certain job.
Term
the cell theory (3 parts) developed after Robert Hooke invented the microscope
Definition
1. all living things are made of one or more cells.
2. The cell is the basic unit of life.
3. All cells come from cells that already exist.
Term
Difference between plant and animal cells
Definition
Plant and animal cells have same organelles except for:
Animal cells: have lysosome, don't have chloroplast only cell membrane
vacuole - one or more small vacuoles (much smaller than plant cells)
plant cells: have cell wall and membrane, chloroplasts
vacuole - one large central vacuole taking up to 90% of cell volume

inn animal cell, lyosomes occur in cytoplasm
in plant cell, lysosomes usually not evident
cilia: animal = present, plant = very rare
shape: round = animal cell
rectangular (fixed shape) = plant cell
Term
Rough ER
Definition
covered w/ ribosomes/ transports
Term
Smooth ER
Definition
transports
Term
ribosome
Definition
site of protein
Term
nucleolus
Definition
within the nucleus / RNA's produced there. composed of proteins and nucleic acids.
Term
centrosome
Definition
Helps cell with cell division
Term
golgi body
Definition
packages proteins and crabs for export from the cell
Term
lysosome
Definition
(only for animals) digestive enzymes - break up waste materials and cellular debris
Term
nuclear membrane
Definition
encloses the genetic material in eukaryotic cells. Also serves as a physical barrier seperating contents of the nucleus from the cytoplasm.
Term
eukaryote
Definition
Animals and plants are this ____
Term
fat cells
Definition
store so much fat that the nucleus is pressed against the cell membrane
Term
bone cells
Definition
a hard calcium and phosphorus material surrounds it
Term
nerve cells
Definition
have many long branches to send and receive messages
Term
muscle cells
Definition
have fibers that can contract and relax(ed)
Term
plant cells
Definition
in leaves, stems, and roots are specialized to move food and water or to support the plant.
Term
cells are organized so they can work together to keep the organism alive
Definition
cells are organized so they can work together to keep the organism alive
Term
tissues
Definition
groups of similar cells that do the same kind of work
Term
organ
Definition
2 or more tissues that work together
Term
organ systems
Definition
groups of organs that work together to perform a job
Term
cells --> tissues --> organ --> organ system
Definition
cells --> tissues --> organ --> organ system
Term
body tube
Definition
The thing that looks like a tube on the top of a microscope
Term
Eyepiece
Definition
The thing right above (attached) to the bodytube
Term
(Revolving) nosepiece
Definition
It turns the objectives around
Term
Arm
Definition
the arm of a microscope, attaches the bottom to the head
Term
objective
Definition
high power, low, medium, you change these powers to see better magnification, etc, turned around by the nosepiece
Term
stage
Definition
the floor for the slides
Term
stage clips
Definition
holds the slideshow so it doesnt move or fall
Term
diaphram
Definition
controls the light
Term
coarse adjustment
Definition
helps you see better in a large scale
Term
fine adjustment
Definition
helps you see better in a small scale
Term
light source
Definition
the light comes from here.
Term
base
Definition
the base ( floor) that holds everything
Term
How did microscopes help scientists with cells?
Definition
helped scientist discover cells, they can be studied, became familiar part of all living things
Term
how does cell theory explain where cells come from?
Definition
cells come from cells that already exist, and the cells keep dividing, number of cells increase.
Term
Why is it important for cells to be organized?
Definition
If not organized, you going to fail without organization, tissues and organs won't be able to do what they supposed to do, and eventually DIE
Term
major difference between cells?
Definition
plant cell has chloroplast and cell wall, animal cell doesn't have it
